Weekend Reads

At the top of today’s news IMO is the fact that my month on Lyme antibiotics and the accompanying cleanse is officially complete. Yeehaw! The yeehaw is mostly about my return to the wonderful world of wine. Albeit, one glass a night per the doctor’s order, but I’ll take what I can get.

I’ll write a review of my month off all things inflammatory soon, so stay tuned. Going forward, I’m sticking to 80/20 diet, avoiding gluten and soy as much as possible, to help my thyroid return to normal levels.

In other news, here are a few good reads for your weekend!
